This project involves the design, engineering, construction, operations, and maintenance of a new 500-MW transmission system between Granite Canal, Newfoundland and Labrador and Woodbine, Nova Scotia. The link will also include two 170-kilometre subsea cables across the Cabot Strait, close to 50 kilometres of overland transmission in Nova Scotia, and nearly 300 km of overland transmission on the island of Newfoundland.
In 2016, the Maritime Link Project reached a number of significate milestones, including the completion of right-of-way clearing, site preparation and its horizontal directional drilling program in both Cape Breton and on the island of Newfoundland. Significant progress has also been made on the grounding lines in each province, with the Nova
Scotia portion substantially complete and the ground site at Indian Head, NL substantially complete.
